Here's our monthly recap!
We decided to start doing a monthly recap. Since we post and read a ton we will highlight what our favorite things were and what we hope to read the upcoming month. If you would like to see all our posts, here are our weekly wrap-ups.
This month we decided its time to try and get back to normal book life among other things. It's slow going with the blogging... better with the reading. We have gotten mostly back to my normal for read. We hope next months wrap up will be much better than this one.
We are just now getting back into the swing of things so we only have one Weekly Wrap-up this month. we will get back to normal soon I hope.

Okay January was a roller coaster. It partially felt like it went by fast and partially felt like it dragged on forever. It was a really busy month for us.
The first weekend we had a friend over who played games with us.
The next weekend we had a couple over who played games with us. And then that Saturday I got to see Jesse McCartney in concert. It was the coolest thing ever by the way.
Then we had my brother's birthday party, we.. you guessed it! Played games. This time it was poker though.
Then the last weekend we had our aunt and uncle over and Jenn played games with them.
AND that Saturday we spent the night at the Texas State Aquarium and went to the beach. I had never been to the beach before! It was really fun and the weather was just awesome.
Oh and I don't think we've mentioned this yet, and it happened in December. But we got a new doggo. Her name is Rikku.

Books I hope to read in February
Jenn-
So I dove right back into reading. Mostly audio. Still trying to get into reading my books at home. It's just hard at home. So many other things are going on. But I managed to get through some books. I also decided to dive into graphic novels this year. So I did get through a few of those too.
We did have quite a bit of company and game nights in January, which was fun and distracting from real life. I believe we had one at least once every weekend. Hopefully we will get some pics and posts up on Board Game Break Time. We had a lot of fun with our newest games.
Not too much blogging has been going on. I am slowly getting back into gear. I need to do some commenting. I am failing miserably on that and I am sorry. Will work on that asap. The reviews are coming slowly. It's almost like I forgot how to review. The discussion posts are starting back up sort of too. We have never been the greatest with those but... well... you will see how that goes.

We don't have too many to choose from but I do love the What Next post we started.
I also had fun writing these reviews
Navigating the Stars
The accidental Beauty Queen

Reading Stats:
I am very impressed with my January reads but I need more in February. I am focusing on my series, older reviews, and new releases. Here is my list:
9 Adult
13 ya
3 Graphic Novels
Favorite books:
I don't know what is up with me this month but majority of my reads were 5 and 4 stars. I don't know if its because I am reading my series I already love, if I haven't read in so long that every book is awesome, or I am just picking good. But its been a great month for reads for me.
5 Star:

How was your month of January? Anything new and exciting or just good ole' fun? Did you get a lot of reading done?
Congratulations on your new dog!
ReplyDeleteI had a pretty good reading month for January. I finally broke out of the book rut I was (where every book was just okay but none of them were great.) I didn't play very many different games in January because my family became obsessed with Yahtzee.
I really enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse books! I also have those cute cartoon covers for them which are better than some of the dreadful artwork that they've revamped the series with! Cute dog!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you ladies are back! My sister tried to teach me how to crochet, or at least just one stitch. It was hard!!
ReplyDeleteMy mother also tried to teach me. I just couldn't do it. Ash is doing much better than I ever did. It is hard. I will stick to reading!
